1Ki 16:31 | MHM | STEP | v. 31 : Ahab considered it a small thing to follow the sins of Jeroboam. He went even further by marrying Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians. Jezebel was a strong supporter of idol worship and was known for her evil ways, including witchcraft and cruelty (2 Kings 9:22 ). By marrying her, Ahab brought even more evil into Israel. In the New Testament, the name “Jezebel” is used for a woman who leads others into sin (Revelation 2:20 ). Jezebel’s influence led Israel into greater idolatry and wickedness.
